Okay, so I've been on this new med for a couple weeks now, and seriously, my mouth feels like I've been chewing cotton balls all day. I mean, I drink water constantly, but it just doesn't help much. Gum sorta works, but gets old fast, you know? Someone mentioned those special mouthwash things, but haven't tried yet. Curious what everyone else does when meds dry out your mouth like crazy.
Quick poll time—what's your go-to solution?
1. Chewing gum or candies
2. Special moisturizing mouthwash/toothpaste
3. Drinking tons of water constantly
4. Humidifier at night
5. Just suffer through it (lol, me right now)
Feel free to drop any tips below too, cuz I'm desperate at this point...
"Someone mentioned those special mouthwash things, but haven't tried yet."
Definitely give the moisturizing mouthwash a shot—I used to think it sounded gimmicky too, but it's honestly a lifesaver. Regular water just washes away saliva without really helping long-term, you know? Plus, a humidifier at night makes a bigger difference than you'd think. Dry mouth isn't just annoying, it can mess with your teeth and gums, so tackling it head-on is totally worth it. Hope you find relief soon!
